Caitlin Clark is one of three players featured in the ESPN+ “Full Court Press” mini-series that released on May 11.
The series provides an intimate glimpse into Clark’s childhood, and is made even more fascinating because it includes interviews from her family.
One section of the four-part series has Clark’s parents, Brent and Anne, talking about how the Indiana Fever superstar was treated by her two brothers and four male cousins.
“They would put her in a snowsuit and throw water balloons at her,” Anne Nizzi-Clark said of Caitlin. “I mean, they were just awful to her.”
Although worth nothing that Anne said this with a smile.
Clark’s brother Blake then reminisces on their childhood, saying, “When we have nothing to do, and it’s hot here, humid, and [Caitlin] has all of her snow gear on, so that she doesn’t feel getting hit. But she just wanted to play with us.”
Blake then told a story about how his sister’s competitiveness once made a bloody mess.
“Colin and Caitlin, they were playing basketball, the two of them,” Blake said. “Somehow it always gets physical down in the basement.”
Caitlin’s younger brother Colin appears on screen, and says, “I remember I was playing good defense. [Caitlin] missed a shot.”
Then Caitlin appears on screen, saying, “I was just getting so angry and pissed that I just chucked [Colin] into the wall.”
“And he put his hand back [behind his head]… and there was just blood everywhere.”
Caitlin then noted how Colin needed five staples in his head after the shove.
